single day last week,nearly 40 people reached the top of the world-a record.Reports from base campspoke of queues at dangerous ridges and crowds as people passed each other in thefinal dash for the 8,848 meters top.More traditional mountaineers tease about the circus atmosphere surrounding Everestin recent years,and there are warnings that the crowds are making the mountain moredangerous.In 1996,14 died on the mountain when the members of several groups weretrapped at high altitudes by sudden snowstorms.Bad weather in early May led to thisyears jam on the summit ridge,but the loss,luckily,was light.Just four climbersdied,including a Nepali Sherpa who had made 11 previous successful climbing.Traditionalists are also worried about the growing tendency of climbers to setrecords and achieve“firsts”,rather than simply climb the mountain.This yearscrop of mountaineers included the oldest man,64-year-old Sherman Bull fromConnecticut,and the youngest,16-year-old Temba Tsheri Sherpa of Nepal.An Americanwith only one arm was on the mountain this year;an Indian with no legs also tried7but failed.Erik Weihennieyer,an American,became the first blind person to reachthe top of the world.His fellow climbers stayed in front of him on the way up,describing the type of land and ringing bells.Nepal（尼泊尔）views Mount Everest as something of a cash cow.The government chargesjourneys a minimum of$70,000.That is probably why officials in Katmandu areignoring concerns about overcrowding and talking about even more climbers comingnext year.But a celebration of the 48th anniversary of the first conquest of Everest,by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay,was cancelled after violent strikes.Tumultuous（动乱的）Nepali politics,it seems,could be just the crowd-controlmeasure that Everest needs.63.What is the problem that the climbers have to face in recent years?A.Bad Weather.B.Technology.C.Overcrowding.D.Physical strength.64.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A.The risks of mountain climbing.B.The consequence of overcrowding.C.The challenge that climbers have to face.D.The damage that snowstorms have caused.65.Several climbers are
